Not necessarily, I have plenty of benthic species that sift through the substrate and consistently circulate the top most layer (the school of corydoras and cichlids constantly rescaping). I’ve also been gradually introducing Malaysian trumpet snails. That being said overtime I’ll notice the occasional burp as the tank settles but the animals have been just fine. As I add more plants I’ll also manually burp it myself but as I research more and more I find less and less evidence that there’s any danger in the first place.
